Populus, Seasonal restaurant in Rodez, France
Populus is a restaurant in Rodez that focuses on market-driven cooking with regional ingredients. The indoor dining room holds about forty guests, while the outdoor terrace seats thirty more.
The restaurant opened in September 2023 under chef Louise Canonici's leadership. She brought experience from prominent French kitchens where she had worked with established chefs.
On Thursday evenings, the space transforms into a wine bar where French organic and biodynamic wines take center stage. This shift reveals how the region continues its wine-making traditions through modern approaches.
The restaurant operates on different schedules for lunch and dinner service throughout the week. It is worth checking ahead on specific days and times to ensure you arrive when the service you want is available.
At lunch, the kitchen serves fresh market-driven dishes, while evenings feature smaller, shareable tapas-style offerings. This dual approach lets visitors experience two quite different meals at the same address.
